In 1953, twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell co-founded Body Glove when they designed the first practical wetsuit. Almost 60 years later Body Glove is one of very few family owned surf/dive brands in the world. It all began in a pool in Booneville, Missouri.Bill and Bob were fascinated with the water. When they were 14 years old, they fashioned their own diving helmet out of a vegetable can and a tire pump. They explored the bottom of a pool reading magazines while the other held the air pump on the surface.Bill and Bob MeistrellIn 1953 we invented the first practical wetsuit, which revolutionized surfing and diving. We came up with the phrase "fits like a glove" and Body Glove was born. — Bill & Bob Meistrell
